    Does anyone know of a use for 22 short match grade ammo? I do not have a short chambered semi auto to shoot it in. May shoot in a 52 Win if it will not hurt the chamber.
    Thanks!

    the best use would be shoot it in a rifle with a short chamber. shooting it in a lr chamber will result in a carbon ring building up in the chanber. if you shoot very much it can be a real pain to clesn out. also accuracy will usually really suck. think shooting cb shorts in a lr chamber. the bullet has more than an eighth of an inch (.150 plus thou) jump to get to the lands. from my experience you are lucky if you can hit a golf ball at 25yds.
     
    I shoot a Henry mini bolt with cb shorts. knock the carp out of the ground squirrels and able to hit the steel chickens at 50 yards off the bench with no problems.
